"Hello 1 Will, where are yougoing with that cow ?"Thus cried out Sam Murryas Willie drove a nice cow alongthe street."I am driving this cow overto the Parson. My Aunt hasdecided to allow the Parson'swife and family the use of thiscow for a number of months,"answered Willie.When Willie had reachedthe Parson's pasture, whoshould be meet but the preacher in person. The good boypromptly delivered his messagein a polite and gentlemanlymanner, and was just on thecvo of leaving when tho minister actosted him thus :'Willie, I have often noticedyour 'thoroughness and persistent endeavors toward usefulness, and wondered why it wasthat you did not immediatelydevote your mind to the studyof some profession ?"','It is my wish, Mr. Walker,"said Willie ; "but I am only apoor orphan boy, and must dothe best I can.""What profession would youprefer, my little friend?" rejoined the Parson."Of all things in the world,I'd rather ho a minister," saidWillie.The good preacher saw thatthe whole bent of the boy'smind tended toward that of allothers the most august and sacred profession, ' namely, theministry.In a few minutes the boy haddeparted, and the man of Godwended his way to his study,all the while thinking about therosy-faced little boy with whomhe had just held the above conversation.A true Gospel preacher feelsa strange and potent realization, when he has it forced uponhis mind, that God designs acertain being as "a chosen vessel." How that good man prayed and planned for the futureof Willie. Ho knew that Mr.Lorenzo, the uncle of the boy,had the means to help his nephew if he would, but Aere wasthe difficulty1. Mr. L. was -acold, selfish, stingy man. Ifthe Lord would convert Mr. L.over again,'all might Work well,but the trouble arising herowas : Mr. L. considered himselfa very pious man, and boastedin his firmness and perfectionof judgment To remonstratewith Mr. Li,' would bring, downhis j sarcastlq j rebuff and cruelretort, for he allowed no one todictate to hiin. esDeciallv min-. . "i T.isters or school-teachers, for heknew as much and a great dealnioro than they did, when itcamo. to, things of every-daylie, outside of books,eto. Withsuch a man as this to deal with,and the fear of being officious,Mr. , Walker felt it to bo hisduty, to pray' over the masterfor 'a few days."'How r'arclydo ministers takeso much and such .dQPPljntrrest.'.in 'the. welfare.; qf( others,,even .to-duv. of earnent nmver.yetuJh ,was . the ; case vithParson W. 'One morning, some two weeksafter ,tho ' conversation.; 'he?cj; attho bam witli Willie, Mr. AWer ' went out into the grove ,topray; and refresh : himseif vyitlia walk ' in 'the cool1 and pure,morning breeze. It was at thistime that tho good man decidedthat ho would pay. Mr. and Mrs.Lorenzo a visit, and divulge hismind and his plans, and by thehelp' of God, enforce his convictions about the lad. Mr. W.and all the village had noticedthe irregularity of Willie's attendance at school, and everyone knew that Mr. L. was thecause of all the trouble. In, afew hours after tho mornibgwalk, wjQ,find.3kl. -Walker ! atthe residence of Mr.CHAPTER XII.When Willie returned ' fromthe Parsons, Mrs. L. enquiredabout the family and especiallyabout what the ministers said.When the lad told the goodwoman all about the conversation with Mr. Walker, the eyesof Mrs. Lorenzo were twinklingwith an unusual interest as ifto say, some good will come outof all this yet.The stern Mr. L. came in anddirected the boy to his work,charging him not to come tothe house until the noon trainhad gone down.After given his orders, Mr.L. took his pipe as usual, andspent an hour smoking to 'thedestruction of his health andmind, if not his morals and religion. Mrs. Lorenzo had commenced talking in a generalway, preparing the way to thetheme of most., importance toher. '"Good morning, Parson,"said Mr. L., as Eld. Walker entered tho room. "I am veryglad to see you. Hope you arewell.""Quite well, thank you,"said the Parson.After taking each of tho twoby tho hand, Mr. W. took hisseat and commenced conversation. In a short time the Elder oberved, that "he had madethe call for the purpose of consulting Mr. and Mrs.. L. relative to matter that had empressedhis mind very powerfully' forsome time." '"Very well" said Mr. L., "itis our duty to confer together,and my experience is that inyadvice always come around tobe the best. I dm very gladthat the Parson has at last discovered the proper member ofhis church, with whome to confer ; have been a church member for a great many years, and, r. .no one ever knew of my not. . .uirowiiig iiiiu tuo cunucuuu my25 cents, regularly every quartier.? .: "Buy interposed Elder W.,"L have no fears about your doing what you think right,' norof your soundness of jugementiyou must rather allow mo tocommend you for your goidqualities. .The object of my cillthis morning consists in an 'interest. ' I feel for your boyWillie. . ..("Now wife", said Mr, ;L.,"have you been over at Mr.'lvVgittcn him' after me? I am abiutoyer run with wfe and neighbors about that boy, and nowhero comes tho Parson, and tomake a long story short. Ithink that tho host thing I cando is to give up my own. business and let other peoplo run itfor mo."This outbreak almost silenced thdlmodest'Parson, and yetho was a person not easily defeated by sharp repartee or insinftati8rf,tioholfeenmed histrain ;of thought.;.- ; . it! y."Ob isir,"do not btr mistaken,I do not propoxtf to. middle withyour business, but luclp youLorenzo7tw'tteTJJ 6tBerralkI4la4!along the best I can,' and thoplan I propose will heip''; y04imaterially, and also enable yputo do great good in the.1, world."."What is iti then' saicf Mr,L.,rathcr. subduncd. , .,"I am convinced," said theParson, "tliat Willie possessesunusual . sense, - and rt bent ofmind tending toward usefulness, and now, I want to helpyou help him, so that ho maybo ojualiticd for usefulness suchas jwill honor God, and mankind." ''Oh, yes 1 wife has been atmejconQerning tho same thing.'..Indeed! said tho Pastor,"then she too feels a deep in-tcrist in behalf of Zion?"prayed and wept over this, matter for a long time.""Well," said Mr. L, "let ushave your plan Mr. W"?As you do not feel disposedto send the boy off to school,put him through the school hereand then I will agree to becomehis tutor, and qualify him forthe work of the ministry, bothclassically and theologically,and all the expense you needhave, will bo in boarding andclothing the boy, and he can dothis studying at home, andcome to me and recite, henceyou will have him with you,and at the same time ho canprepare his lessons."i These suggestions of ElderWalker, suited Mr. L. betterthan any thing ever before presented, and he told tho Parsonso, and asked to think on thesubject a few days, and theretho conversation ended,;-'andMr. W. returned to his homegreatly encouraged. .;' Mrs. L.was filled with gladness, and abetter spirit seemed to takepossession of Mr. Lorenzo.When Willie came in he sawthat a pleasent genius presided,and ho was perplexed at thokindness of his Uncle.TO BK CONTINUKD.My Friend.I had a friend who was verydear to me; we shared eachother's joys and sorrows, likeDavid and Jonathan.There was a protracted meeting in our neighborhood, andgreat interest in the preachingof God's word ; many were convicted and converted. My ownsoiil was deeply affected, and Iresolved to go forward and askthe prayers of the people ofGod.I made known my intentions to my friend, and askedhim to go with me. "I cannotgo," he Raid firmly, "but Heaven forbid that I should keep youback; go, he said, "and may' ' ,, 'IGod help you. I turned fromlp yohim calmly. I felt my need ofa Saviour, and said iu my heart:"I ciin hut pui'IhIi If I go,I am resolved to try,I'or if I slay away 1 knowI must for over die."I I had scarcely taken my seaton the mourner's bench before'my friend came forward. Together we wept in , penitentialsorrow, and soon the Sun .oirighteousness arose in oursouls. 'Years passed away. Throughmany trials and temptations weyearned for,"a closer walk ithGod," and in , the midst pt inyfriend's usefulness , ho heardtho' summons, "Come up higher." Oh, if you havo n friend, goto him now while it is called today, and ask him to come toJesus. Soon ho may be beyondthe reach of mercy. Don't waitfor others ; go to him yourself;your influonco may bo greaterthan you think; see that youuse it to the glory of God.PHSHBBIssi, The Chicago, Alton and St.Louis road earned .more moneyIn October this year than in October last year.The Reality..V.iVhiId. Women nounco unone'ach 'per'liJw.olves. without,pity pvj quartrerfaftiaugls atthe 'weakness," and glosses itover with singing the praisesof gentle woman, tho guardianangui who ; leaus uis visionheavenward I. Never was a more meaningless seutiment framed in words.It sounds well, and passes withthe unthinking. But realitydisplays an utter want of confidence in woman on the partof man.True, if a woman is ignorantand has proven herself incapable of comprehending the go6dand bad as it exists in theworlt iVTJdled ; an excellent woman, a-inodol wife j andshe shines in the lustre of man'sapprobation above suspicion.But let a woman venture toevince a clear insight into human affairs, and a true knowledge of men and women, andmany a coward who feels hisinferiority will cry out, "Lookout for her. She is a dangerous woman. She kuows toomuch."This dread of women whoiunderstand human nature is sogreat with many men that theyseek their wives iu the quietby-wayj of the country, andmarry girls whose lives havebeen as uneventful as tho tinybrooks that babble in the meadows, and who are as innocentof any true knowledgo of therealities and conventionalitiesof life as ' the. litUe fish thatsports iliereltr among the pebbles' aud.',in' shady places. v'This all comes 6f distrustingwomen. Men "seldom think ofreasoning with themselves, saying, "This woman may haveerred, but have I not done thesame? Sho is thus as goodas I."A man believing a womanbecause he holds her will, heropinions, her brain capacity inthe palm of his hand, cannotclaim to havo dignified her withhis confidence.So' long as women distrustand abuse each other, they douot deserve, and will not receive the confidence of the. opposite sex. 'Not until there is greaterheight and depth of educationand requirement of woman,which will bring her better nature into activity, will she outgrow the narrow envies andsuspicions which make pandemonium in every heart wherethey dwell will woman be-lieve in and mako allowancefor the failings of her sister.Then, and not till then, willmen learn to respect and haveElmOrlou.Tins is tho way it works.

We attended theministery of Mr. II-, andon one occasion, adverting! tosome criticism on his sermons,I asked him, 'How is it, thatwhile they call this sermon fine,and that one dry, and anotherone heavy, etc., I find them soprofitable, and always " comeaway instructed and fed fromthe word ?' With animatedpromptness, he replied, 'I'll tellyou' how it is '; yoi pray j forhim.' 'Indeed I do, and thath&.maybe taught from on highto tenet me.r ' fc;M! '" 'Ay, there it is, and yourprayer, you find is answered.The preacher or the hearerseither feed or starve each other.What they withhold from himin prayer, they lose in instruction and benefit. Those wholisten only to cavil or admire,go away empty of spiritual food ;while those who give liberallyto their minister in secret prayer for him, have their soulsrichly fed by the' very samepreaching that falls uublest onothers. Bear your minister,' headded, 'more and more on yourheart to the throne of grace,and you will feast more largelyon the banquet that he spreads.'"I havo to be thankful," shecontinues, "that my friend'scouncil was not lost on me.From that minister, indeed,was soon removed, for in ashort time he was called awayto his rest. 'But I carried thelesson to another pasture,whererichly as we are fed, minealways seems to be a Benjamin'sportion, for I have learned theseoret of the profitable barter,which I would commend to ev'ery Christian hearer, namely,instant, affectionate, personalintercession for the minister,in the spirit of faith. When weare faithful to this, we sit profitably under the hearing of divine truth, humbly confident ofreceiving the assured answer toour prayers in the portion whichis divided, and will always beblessed to us.".Youth, Manhood, Age.It is the solemn thought connected with middle life, thatlife's last business is began inearnest, and it is then, midwaybetween tho cradle and thegrave, that a man begins tomarvel that Be let the days ofyouth go by so half enjoyedIt is the pensive Autumn feel-iug, it is the sensation of halfsadness that we experiencewhen tho longest day of theyear is passed, and every daythat follows is shorter, and thelight fainter, and tho feeblershadows tell that nature is hastening with gigantio footetopsto her Winter grave. So , doesman look hack upon his youthWhen the first gray hairs become visible, when the unwelcome truth fastens itself uponthe mind that a man is nolonger going up hill,; but downand that the sun is always westerning, he looks' back on thingsbehind, When, ye' were children .we thought as children.But now there lies before usmanhood, with its earnest work,i nd then old age, and then thegrave, and then home.
